This was the 1st episode I ever saw of Scrubs. I came home from my hospitality job and it was on late that night on TV. It drew me in because Brendan Fraser was in it and it was just kinda goofy at the start. I remember just sitting there completely mind blown at the end, it was just so well executed. The next few weeks my girlfriend and I went and bought all the available seasons on DVD and binged them haha.

It doesn't. The show is boring and dreary throughout.

It is just that there are people who think that boring and dreary is great. These are the people who think "prestige" television is good.

The Magicians had fun musical episodes (except the final one that just wasn’t good), and the cast had some really strong singers. That said, I have a hard time comparing because The Magicians didn’t use original songs, compared to musical episodes in shows like Buffy or Scrubs.

There is a difference between a family business, and people getting hired for jobs in a business that is not owned by their family because of personal relationships.

Also, not caring about a thing, because there are other things that are worse isn't a sign of great intelligence.

And if you do want to us that argument: nepotism is part of a bigger problem, people gaining power and influence because of social background rather than knowledge and skill.

That would be less of a problem is society made it easier for people who don't have a support network to get ahead in life.

It's not really about nepotism per se, it's about these so-called nepo babies acting like they got to where they are now all because of their hard work and being better than others. They refuse to acknowledge that nepotism played a major part in that. That's the real issue at hand.

They would have never gotten there without nepotism.
